Ecometrica’s software available across the University of Edinburgh

Academics and students at the University of Edinburgh School of Geosciences are set to become the first to gain unlimited access to millions of pounds worth of state-of-the-art Earth Observation, geospatial intelligence and satellite mapping applications, thanks to a groundbreaking memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between sustainability software and data company Ecometrica and the University of Edinburgh. The MoU formalises the ongoing collaboration between Ecometrica and the University of Edinburgh, which is expected to be worth around £4.5m to both parties over the next five years. Ecometrica will make its Mapping suite - a web-based, universal, disruptive geographic information system (GIS) - available on a limitless basis to the University, so that it can be used for research and teaching purposes. www.ecometrica.com
